32 Managers Share The Most Ridiculous-Sounding Excuses Employees Gave That Turned Out To Be True

1. “Hit by a car.”

“I’m late because I was hit by a car on my way here.”

Poor kid didn’t say anything until I asked and then he showed me his road rash bleeding through his shirt.

I sent him home obviously.

2. “Brb, got stabbed.”

“I got stabbed and I can’t make it in today but I’ll be there tomorrow.”

This dude really got mugged and stabbed in the arm and still came into work the next day.

3. Apparently, he shit his pants.

Had an employee call me aside and flat out tell me “I don’t know what happened but I just shit my pants” I chose to believe him.

4. She said she was in labor. No one knew she was pregnant.

Larger lady at work called out because she just gave birth. She had worked there for 6+ years…
